I would be wary of routing the gas thru the mechanical pump -- would
work I think but an internal failure there (such as a failed diaphram)
could have you pumping gas into the crankcase.

Perhaps a crafty person could remove the mechanical pump internals and
replace the diaphragm [how do you spell that anyway?] with a sheet
metal blank.  That could be a safe way to retain the stock look,
though I have never tried it nor (to my knowledge) seen it done).
